Lu Chen fainted on the ground with a thud. Zi Yan and Hao Min looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.
However, neither of them moved at this moment. Instead, they waited for a while. After Hao Min finished the tea in her hand and confirmed that Lu Chen had completely fainted, she stood up and saluted Zi Yan respectfully, saying, "Lady Saint, it's time for us to leave."
Zi Yan also stood up and nodded. At this moment, she no longer had the gentle demeanor she had in front of Lu Chen before. Instead, she nodded indifferently and said, "Is everything arranged?"
"Well, there's a tunnel we dug underneath this house that will take us all the way to the outside of the city. There's a carriage waiting for us outside the city, and we'll definitely be able to get you to a safe place as quickly as possible."
Zi Yan nodded in satisfaction and said, "You are well prepared."
"When you first sent us word that it was possible to capture this demon, the leader instructed us to fully cooperate with you. We had already prepared for the worst, but it seems that things are going unusually smoothly."
The two people's chat ended here. Hao Min called in two maids, and several people hurriedly lifted Lu Chen onto a stretcher and carried him into the secret passage.
After swaying for a while, Lu Chen slowly woke up. The light around him was a little dim, and it took him a long time to see the surrounding environment clearly.
This was a very cramped little room, and he could only stand up with difficulty. If he moved a little harder, he might hit his head.
The furnishings in the room were also extremely simple, with a bed, a chair, a table, and there seemed to be a toilet in the corner.
The cramped environment, dim light, and simple furnishings reminded Lu Chen of the time when he was captured by Chen Laoliu.
"What's going on? I remember I was drinking Hao Min and tea just a second ago. How did I end up in this place the next second?" Rubbing his aching head, Lu Chen shouted, "Help, is there anyone here?"
However, his shouting did not attract anyone immediately. He could only stagger to the door and reach out to push it, but found that the door had been locked from the outside.
It was obvious that he was imprisoned, and the place where he was imprisoned was most likely the bottom of a large ship.
He has been living on the boat all this time, and he is very familiar with the swaying feeling.
Coupled with the humid water vapor in the air, Lu Chen felt that there was nothing wrong with making such a judgment.
Recalling what Zi Yan said before he fainted, Lu Chen's face darkened.
"I miscalculated. I didn't expect this woman to attack me at this time. Could it be that after all this time, my master hasn't tried hard to influence this woman?"
Just when Lu Chen was full of doubts, he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside, and then the door of the room was opened, and Zi Yan and Du Juan, master and servant, walked in from outside.
Seeing Lu Chen had woken up, Zi Yan said with a complicated expression: "You're awake, eat something first."
Lu Chen thought to himself, "How could I have the mood to eat right now?" He looked at Zi Yan and said, "I know I have many enemies, but I never thought that the person who attacked me would be you."
After scanning Zi Yan and Du Juan, the master and servant, Lu Chen chuckled and said, "Why don't you introduce yourself again?"
Du Juan put down the plate in her hand, stood behind Zi Yan, and said proudly: "The one in front of you is the Saint of my sect!"
"Cult? White Lotus?"
Lu Chen looked at Zi Yan in astonishment. The Jinyiwei had provided him with some information before, which showed that Zi Yan did have some problems.
But Lu Chen never expected that Zi Yan would actually be the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect.
"Sending the saint to a brothel in the capital to be the most popular courtesan? You, the White Lotus Sect, are really creative!" Lu Chen sneered, even though he was not going to lose face.
Facing Lu Chen's provocation, Zi Yan remained calm and continued, "It's just a layer of identity. If you look at it in a positive light, it won't matter. As long as I can do something for Wusheng Old Mother and let the Zhenkong Homeland come to the world as soon as possible, any sacrifice will be worth it to me."
What a fucking psycho!
Lu Chen knew very well that the two most difficult types of people to communicate with in this world were those who were brainwashed by pyramid schemes and those who were brainwashed by cults.
Even if he met someone from the underworld again, Lu Chen felt that he would not be as passive as he is now.
At least the values and logical thinking of the people in the martial arts world are normal, and they can still communicate normally, unlike those who believe in the White Lotus Cult, who always plan to destroy themselves and the entire world.
"Alright, then I don't know why the Saint Lady arrested me. I have no grudge against the White Lotus Sect, so why don't we just go our separate ways? If you let me go, I'll pretend nothing happened."
Zi Yan looked at Lu Chen with interest. This was the first time that Lu Chen showed weakness in front of her since she met him. This made Zi Yan feel extremely happy.
"It's impossible to let him go. We finally caught him. How can we just let him go?"
Lu Chen also knew that this would be the outcome. He could only spread his hands and said, "Okay, then can you tell me what your purpose is in arresting me? What do you want from me?"
"Lu Chen, although we don't know exactly which sect you belong to, or which immortal master you received guidance from, since we are all immortal cultivators, we should naturally help each other. As long as you are willing to use your immortal arts to help our Holy Church conquer the Great Qi court, I can guarantee that you will enjoy endless wealth and glory!"
Lu Chen lowered his eyelids and smiled, "So you just want me to help you oppose it? You're just daydreaming. I, Lu Chen, am the Grand Master of the Great Qi State. How could I possibly be in cahoots with a bunch of evil believers like you? I advise you to just give up on this idea!"
As he spoke, Lu Chen raised his head, his face filled with righteous indignation and determination.
Zi Yan stared at the stinky man in front of her, sneered with disdain and said, "The Great Qi State Master is so majestic, it really scares me. Since you don't want to, I won't force you. Come, drag him out and chop him into pieces to feed the fish!"
"Wait a minute, Lady Saint, you must have misunderstood me. What I meant was, what's the point of just conquering the Great Qi Dynasty? If we're going to do it, let's do it on a larger scale. We should also annex the surrounding countries and establish a theocratic state. The leader will be the leader of all the people in the world, and you will be the Saint of all the people in the world."
"Actually, I've been dissatisfied with the Great Qi court for a long time. When are we going to start the rebellion? Hurry up, I can't wait!"
